TV

So I sat down and actually watched some tv tonight for the first time in probably months (or since the last movie i saw), when on popped an infomercial aimed toward an older demographic. The product was a sound amplifier for old people with hearing loss, for only 14.99! It showed and old man getting yelled at for having the tv too loud, and an old lady listening in to a pair of jogging mothers' gossip.

After the commercial was over, it occurred to me that these people might have chosen the wrong demographic to fuck with. When old people were our age, they had to dodge scheisty gypos and 2-bit, back alley peddlers of knick-knacks and kajiggers. They might be confused by technology, but I reckon that they know the ol' balls and cups game when they see it. Only in today's fat and lazy consumer society can the infomercial blossom, with the digital kids and the better-quicker-cheaper mentality. So I hope your product fails, and you die for trying to con the old.
